Radical Creativity as Recovery
The Process: Creative Agency
Every Child Of session centres creative agency. Individuals work with textiles, sculpture, collage and print to express experience and reclaim authorship.
The approach invites mess, risk, and reinvention. Making becomes a method of reflection and transformation. People engage with materials as a way of navigating emotion, memory and identity, on their own terms and without external judgement. It also builds lasting confidence. Participants do not need to be artists when they arrive, but they often leave with new skills, a renewed sense of self, and the foundation for a future practice.
Sessions are built around guidance. Participants are introduced to techniques and enabled to grow and learn. The result is a non-pressurised, exploratory environment where individual process is prioritised.
BUILDING SKILLS
Creative prompts such as pattern cutting, lino printing, or storyboarding are used to unlock ideas. People respond with what feels meaningful to them, supported by facilitators and peers. This structure helps people take creative risks without fear of failure. It allows participants to discover what kind of maker they want to be, and it builds the confidence to keep going beyond the studio.
